Full-Size Handheld Controller Experience

The Split Pad Pro is designed to make handheld Nintendo Switch gaming feel closer to using a traditional full-size controller.

Its larger grips provide additional room for the hands compared with standard Joy-Con controllers, helping improve comfort during longer gaming sessions.

It is particularly useful for:

• Action Games
• RPGs
• Racing Games
• Shooters
• Fighting Games
• Platformers
• Adventure Games

Large Analog Sticks

The Split Pad Pro features full-size analog sticks, providing a more traditional controller feel than the smaller sticks found on standard Joy-Con controllers.

The larger design can provide more comfortable control for:

• Character movement
• Camera control
• Aiming
• Driving
• Exploration

Traditional D-Pad

The left controller features a full traditional D-Pad instead of four separate directional buttons.

This makes it particularly suitable for:

• Fighting Games
• Platformers
• Retro Games
• 2D Action Games
• Puzzle Games
• Menu Navigation

Assignable Rear Buttons

Each side of the Split Pad Pro includes an additional rear button that can be assigned to supported button functions on its respective controller side.

This allows frequently used controls to be accessed without changing your normal hand position.

Useful applications can include:

• Jump
• Sprint
• Reload
• Item use
• Action commands
• Other supported controls

Turbo Function

Built-in Turbo functionality provides rapid repeated inputs for supported buttons.

This can be useful in games that require frequent or repetitive button presses.

Turbo functionality can be configured through the controller's built-in controls without requiring additional software.

Direct Nintendo Switch Connection

The left and right Split Pad Pro controllers attach directly to the Nintendo Switch's side rails.

Because they receive their connection and power through the console:

• No Bluetooth pairing is required
• No internal controller batteries are required
• No separate charging is required
• No wireless connection setup is necessary

Simply attach both controllers to the compatible Nintendo Switch for handheld gameplay.

Ergonomic Grip Design

One of the biggest advantages of the Split Pad Pro is its substantially larger grip compared with standard Joy-Con controllers.

The ergonomic shape is designed to provide a more natural controller-style hand position, making it a practical option for extended handheld gaming sessions.

Specifications

Compatibility

Designed for:

• Nintendo Switch
• Compatible Nintendo Switch games supporting Handheld Mode

Important Feature Limitations

The HORI Split Pad Pro is not a direct feature-for-feature replacement for Nintendo Joy-Con controllers.

The standard Split Pad Pro does not include:

• Wireless / Bluetooth connectivity
• HD Rumble
• Motion controls / gyro
• NFC / amiibo functionality
• IR Motion Camera

Games that require these specific Joy-Con features may require standard Joy-Con controllers or another compatible controller.

Handheld Mode Note

The Split Pad Pro is primarily designed to work while attached directly to the Nintendo Switch console in Handheld Mode.

The controllers do not operate independently as wireless Joy-Con replacements.

Some Split Pad Pro products are also sold in bundles with a separate HORI attachment that enables supported wired controller use. That attachment should not be assumed to be included with this standard Split Pad Pro listing unless it is present in the individual package.

Nintendo Switch Lite Note

The Nintendo Switch Lite has built-in controls and does not feature detachable Joy-Con rails. Therefore, the Split Pad Pro cannot attach to a Switch Lite for normal handheld use.

Important Note – Open Sealed

This product is listed as Open Sealed, meaning the original packaging has been opened.
